Boeing to support Swiss maintenance optimization

Boeing today announced that Swiss International Air Lines (Swiss) has signed agreements for several Boeing solutions to increase efficiency and streamline maintenance performance tasks across the airline’s global operations.

“Partnering with Boeing to implement these services will enhance our maintenance capabilities and drive increased efficiency,” said Peter Wojahn, Chief Technical Officer, Swiss. “Using real-time data will help us to make more informed fleet management decisions and reduce aircraft down time.”

The Maintenance Performance Toolbox modules chosen by Swiss will reduce the time needed to access aircraft-specific technical information and establishes digital maintenance record keeping, eliminating paper-based materials. The Toolbox solutions also establish a searchable library of fleet-wide maintenance data, including customized maintenance documents created by Swiss, to meet their specific operational needs.

“Boeing is very pleased to support Swiss entry into service of their new 777-300ER airplanes with these proven digital tools,” said John Maggiore, director, Boeing Fleet and Maintenance Solutions. “Together, Airplane Health Management, Maintenance Performance Toolbox and LSAP Services will provide an integrated platform for efficient operations.”

Swiss will be the first airline to integrate Boeing Software Distribution Tools – a component of LSAP Services – with 777 airplanes. Swiss will now be able to efficiently and securely manage and exchange airplane operational data and software with their aircraft wirelessly or manually. This will provide Swiss with increased operational flexibility and streamlined processes, and the airline will be able to enhance verification of essential data.
